Dec 25, 2011 at 15:13 comment added Robert Bryant @y2011: I cleaned up the question text a bit. Let me know if I mangled your meaning. Assuming that I've understood you correctly, I'll just comment that, without imposing some kind of positivity(?) condition on $\sigma$, you are not likely to get anything interesting because $\omega$ essentially washes out without some restriction. As diverietti remarked, taking $\sigma=-\omega^p$ will make any metric satisfy your condition. If I were you, I'd look at the first nontrivial case, which would be a complex $4$-manifold and with $p=2$, and see whether I could say anything interesting in that case.

Dec 25, 2011 at 5:06 comment added y2011 Sorry Bryant: $\phi$ should be $\sigma$.

Dec 24, 2011 at 23:44 comment added Robert Bryant @diverietti: I'm guessing that the description of the problem is somewhat mangled, which is why I asked about $\phi$. I suspect that y2011 probably wanted to put some condition on $\sigma$ beyond just being a real $(p,p)$-form. For example, y2011 might want it to be positive (or at least non-negative) on complex $p$-planes. Some kind of inequality such as that might give one access to area bounds for complex submanifolds of $X$, which y2011 could then use in the same way that Gromov used the taming condition to get compactness for the moduli space of curves (i.e., the $p=1$ case).
Dec 24, 2011 at 14:06 comment added diverietti what about $\sigma=-\omega^p$?
Dec 24, 2011 at 12:59 comment added Robert Bryant What is $\phi$, and what does it have to do with anything?
